[ continued from here ]
[ She can't help it - Ruby's expression draws into sober lines at Allura's explanation. Sure, she could be a little spacey at times, but she'd never just forget something like this. But if there really was something else at play and it was beyond her control to remember being here before...
It doesn't sit well with her. At all. What had she forgotten? Memories, experiences...friends?
She swallows, grasping a weak smile. ] Thank you for telling me. If I knew you before, then that just means I get to experience getting to know you all over again.

That's how I choose to view it, yes. I think names should be a good start, all this talk and I haven't given you mine yet. I'm Princess Allura.
And I'm Ruby! [ ...Oh, right. ] Buuut I guess you already knew that.
[ Something clicks into place in her mind then. Wait, did she hear that right? ] "Princess"? You're a Princess?

[Wait until she tells Ruby she's an alien... again.]
Back home, yes. Your sister reacted about the same when I told her, I don't think the subject ever came up between the two of us, though.

Yeah, that sounds about - [ Record scratch. ] Wait, you know Yang?
[ Her heart stops. Could her sister be here, too? ]
[ Her heart stops. Could her sister be here, too? ]
[She nod.]
I do; she arrived last month and she's still here.

[ It's a moment before Ruby can find her voice to respond. Yang...here...in this city. They'd been a continent apart before, but now, just like that, they're so close to seeing each other again. ]
Do you know where she, um - is staying?
[ "Lives" just doesn't sound quite right. ]

I don't, but I do know how you could find her. Do you know about the amulets already?
This thing? [ She holds up her own red and black pendant. ] What does it do, exactly?
Many things. For one it protects us from having our emotions drained out by the environment; it's very important to keep it on you at all times.
But another use is telepathy: if you call out to your sister with your mind, you might be able to find her and talk to her.

...Telepathy? [ That's....weird. ] You mean I can....read her thoughts?
[ Weird and kind of sketchy?? ]
[ Weird and kind of sketchy?? ]
A bit, although in this case it's more like being able to send thoughts to each other.
[ Okay, that's a bit better. ]
So I just have to...call out to her, but inside my head?

[A nod and an approving smile.] Just like that.
[ Ruby's bouquet might be the hardest to choose in a way that isn't completely cliche. After all, when a girl's last name is Rose, you don't get her roses - no matter how much her skirt may look like one. Turns out, they're called alstroemeria and Ruby will find a bouquet of them on her dresser with a note. ]
Hello, Ruby. One of my tasks for the month involved spending half a day in Sharnaath, taking their abundant flowers bouquets off their hands. It hardly seems worth paying me for but now I find myself with the same dilemma: what do I do with all these flowers? I give them to my dear housemates, of course. This was the last bouquet I got, but it was in no way the least. I hope they make you smile.
Signed, Pyrrha.
[Ruby'll hear a tap-tap-tapping from the nearest window. No, it's not a raven, or even a Qrow, but a brightly colored messenger bird. The letter it carries reads as follows:]
[There's an additional piece of paper behind the note with the gift certificate's information on it. Try not to eat too many sweets all at once though, Ruby!]

[A light pause... and then another smile and nod, softer than the last time and brightening the air just a bit. She's glad that Ruby trusts her like this already, even after losing her memories.]
Of course.
Of course.
[ A soft smile. ] Thank you! Okay, here goes nothing...
[ Then, her expression pulls into a concentrated frown, and she squeezes her eyes shut like it's the only way to communicate her thoughts. ]
Um...Allura? Testing! One-two-three! Can you hear me?

I did it! [ Whoops, she said that out loud. ]
I mean...I did it!
I mean...I did it!
There, now it should be a bit easier for you to find Yang, I hope?
Definitely! I'm so glad I ran into you, Allura!
As am I. Thank you for the chance to start over.
